I thought you had me confused with someone else. I will have to admit, I had basically been up for 30 hours at that point, so I was kind of out of it. I agree, I thought the Theobroma had a slight Chateau flavor to it. Yeah, I really like the Burton, I wish it was regularly available. I once got to try the non-blended version, I think they were calling it 'Woody', and that was definitely beer flavored wood. Yeah, Helen's kicks my ass every time I go there, but it's so had to say no. Oh damn, that was you, my bad. I thought you had me confused with someone else.

I don't think you recognized me when I hollared "Shouldn't you be cleaning kegs!" in the parking lot. I had a Theobroma, and a Burton myself. I definately got some chocolate/cocco notes from the Thebroma which surprised me, given it's light color. I'm wondering what yeast was used, it tasted pretty similar to the Chateau Jiahu (sp?). I'm guessing it's pretty generic yeast since they didn't have anything fancy back in the day. Now I've been trying hard to like Burton. I had bought a 4-pack a couple years ago and could not drink them. It was like beer flavored wood, with no hops. I dunno if mine was just aged or something, but Marcel said that with age, the wood comes way forward. I then had it at a beer dinner last year, and it was like a different beer. So I had it Saturday, and it was great! Slight wood notes, and the hops from the 90 really shined through. This is a beer that I will only drink fresh from now on. Ohh, and Helen's kicks ass!!!
